Abdullah Alansare is a professor (assistant) in the exercise physiology department at King Saud University. Luckily, he was granted a full-scholarship to pursue his graduate degrees. He holds a Master of Science in Applied Exercise Science. Currently, he is a PhD student at University of Pittsburgh in Health and Physical Activity department. He works under Dr. Bethany Gibbs’ supervision. He is interested in understanding cardiovascular physiology and the effects of exercise and sedentary behavior changes on cardiovascular health. Specifically, he is interested in understanding the association between blood pressure changes and heart rate variability (HRV) following physical activity and sedentary interventions in hypertensive patients. He believes that understanding these cardiovascular biomarkers (blood pressure and HRV) would help to create strategies that can prevent the development and complications of cardiovascular events especially the silent killer (hypertension).
